Abium, on the other hand, returned to a safer place and made a detailed plan to explore this Fex dimension.
'First, I need to utilize this opportunity and get my hands on all the precious materials in this dimension.' Indeed, he had long realized that this strange dimension held many precious potion materials and thought of gathering everything.
Then, he didn't waste any time and searched for valuable materials in the Fex Dimension.
Abium also noticed that the divine power inside that fragment began to decrease and sighed helplessly.
'I need to think of another way to increase my spirit power sooner.'
He soon flew towards the other side of the volcanic mountain range and arrived at the strange Fire temple a few hours later.
Then, he continuously absorbed the remaining divine power from the fragments and began constructing the first-tier spells.
For the next two months, he mostly stayed in the fire temple while increasing his spirit power and started constructing other first-tier spell modes.
First, he chose the [Mirage] spell model's corresponding spell model called 'Aura of Hallucination.' Unlike the Mirage spell, this spell could directly attack the opponent's mind, confuses their sense, and make them fall asleep for a short moment. This spell could also conceal its effect and make them think they were not affected by any spell.
It had a natural hallucination effect. Abium instantly chose this spell as he understood its effects. If he cast this spell along with Mind freeze, he could even be able to confuse most of the second-tier mages for a split second.
He also had the 'Miracle star' bracelet, which would help him steal his enemy's luck. With his Miracle star artifact, Seer's intuition spell, Quick-thinking divine spell, and magic spells, he would be invincible when facing first-tier mages. After constructing the Aura of Hallucination spell, he started constructing the Teleportation spell.
After constructing the 'Teleportation' spell model, Abium realized that he could teleport to any place willingly in his surrounding 2km radius and was pleased inside.
But one thing that made him sad was that the divine power inside the divine fragment had already emptied. Moreover, Abium felt he couldn't increase his spirit above 120 spirit power and got confused inside.
It was as if some invisible force was obstructing him from moving forward.
The next instant, he realized that he had reached the bottleneck!
'Although I can still construct the final spell model, it's better to do it after taking a short break.'
"Azolla, what did you find about this invisible force?" Abium asked suddenly. He felt this mysterious shackle was done by someone who had a deep grudge against their Easica Plane.
"This is some god's work for sure, kid. If my guess is not wrong, this god must be as strong as Nature Mother Goddess or even stronger." Her words made Abium stiffen up.
'An entity that is stronger than the Mother Nature goddess?' Abium instantly thought of two gods. One was the Light god Welo, while the other was the Goddess of Justice, Qrevna. But he didn't think they would do something so despicable as this.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and cast that thought away. Even if he found the culprit, he didn't have any strength to argue. After a long silence, Abium finally took out Yozis's spatial ring and imprinted it with his spirit power. Then, he sent his spirit power into it and probed.
'Heheh, I didn't expect this guy has so much wealth. Three thumb-sized fire elemental crystals, 30 high-tier magic stones, 3,500 white gold coins, a high-tier long sword named Dark Silver, and hundreds of intermediate and low-tier magic stones. Not bad.' Abium was deeply astounded by the necromancer Yozis's wealth. After transferring all the wealth into his spatial ring, he walked out of the Fire Temple and began to explore.
Under Azolla's guidance, he chose safer areas to adventure and collected important herbs and other materials for pioneering. He even found two rare Ghost fruits, a bottle of Purple Lar resins, five Moonwoods, twelve Fire Marble, a corpse of a 7,000-year-old dwarf and elf, and a single Star leaf, the main ingredient for Saint rank potion.
Well, he didn't know the meaning behind that Saint rank potion and discovered a shocking truth from Azolla: it was a warrior potion. After warriors advanced into a peak ninth tier, they would need a push from outside to advance further.
So, ancient potion masters did countless research and finally found a potion called Saint Potion. Abium had never heard of anyone who surpassed eighth-tier warrior strength and got astounded by that news. Although Azolla didn't have any memory of that potion formula, she told him that he could get similar formulas in Large Empires.
After hearing her words, he got more excited and thought of getting one Saint Potion formula.
After that, he spent more time exploring the pocket dimension and continued to gather all the valuable materials.
…
At the beginning of the ninth month, 300 km from the Fire Temple.
As usual, Abium was in the middle of exploring a strange ruined city at that moment but suddenly stopped.
'I feel a familiar power nearby.' A look of alarm appeared on his face. He glanced around the surroundings and soon frowned.
'Kid, it's the Time Divine Power.' Azolla said excitedly.
'Can you able to pinpoint the exact location?' Abium asked while concentrating his full attention on the faint divine power in the atmosphere. Due to the constant exposure of his soul to time divine power, his sense to detect that strange power was heightened.
'Yes. I feel dense divine power from your right side.' Azolla said calmly.
Meanwhile, Abium got startled inside and hastened his footsteps in that direction.
…
Five hours later, he arrived at the entrance wall of a small ruined temple covered entirely in poisonous vines and looked at it full of confusion.
'Temple? Is this Temple related to that Fire Temple?' Abium creased his brows and looked around cautiously. Most of the outer walls were utterly broken, and only the dome-shaped Temple stood at the center firmly. He also saw a giant silver bell at the entrance gate and furrowed his brows. But as he tried to walk closer, he suddenly felt uneasy and quickly gripped his sword tighter.
'Seer's intuition is warning me!' He halted his footsteps and noticed a strange pattern drawn on the Bell's shoulder.
